India’s continued purchase of Russian oilRubio stated that the U.S. imposed a 25% punitive tariff on Indian imports to pressure India into reducing its energy ties with Russia, particularly in light of the Ukraine war. This doubled the total U.S. tariffs on India to 50%, signaling economic leverage over strategic concerns. The issue dominated ongoing bilateral trade talks, even as Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal visited the U.S. to negotiate.
